Alzheimer’s disease, like a quietly descending memory storm, gently erases the traces of yesterday in the long river of time, turns the familiar into the strange, and slowly leads life into a fog.

Therefore, we launched this project, focusing on the early identification and intervention of the disease, aiming to raise society’s attention and understanding of Alzheimer’s patients, so that memories no longer fade away silently and warmth can be rekindled in the fog.

We will use the form of a frame to interpret a tree from two perspectives, oil painting and ink painting, to show the multi-faceted beauty and appeal to people’s attention to the diversity of beauty.  With “me” as the main body, different ways of appreciation will find different beauty.  With “I” as the object, different individuals have different values.

This project explores the strong smells often encountered in taxis — smoke, food, or indescribable odors. Through interviews and observation of multiple drivers’ daily routines and car-cleaning habits, we trace the origins of these smells. Focusing on the driver’s seat, the spot where odors accumulate most, we created a book-installation. Using stacked and compressed forms with diffusive visual effects, the design reflects how smells settle and spread, revealing the unseen pressures of taxi drivers’ work lives.
